Set QMenu on TopRightCorner in a QMenuBar

Question

can someone explain why this statement does nothing?

ui.menuBar->setCornerWidget(ui.menuHelp, Qt::TopRightCorner);

menuBar is a QMenuBar and menuHelp is QMenu

I still get all my QMenu's clustered on the Left Side of the window

Answer 1

To add a menu to the right side of menu bar, you should add a new QMenuBar containing the desired menu as the right corner widget using setCornerWidget :

QMenuBar *bar = new QMenuBar(ui->menuBar);

QMenu *menuHelp = new QMenu("Help", bar);
bar->addMenu(menuHelp);

ui->menuBar->setCornerWidget(bar);
